An Idea I had, would it be possible to do in Discovery's Server? - obnoxious1 - 10-23-2008
I have noticed, the few times one of my characters is in the Manhattan area, the amount of new ships & new players (which is great.. not offending them) can be a fairly large number. Lots of ooc & oorp chat floods the screen, lots of cry's for help from new to the server players & such, sometimes it can be over whelming for both beginners and server veterans alike.
Then I remembered a server I played on a year or 2 ago. You started out in an isolated system & chose a 1 way jum phole to head to where you wanted to build your rep.
Thinking of that an idea struck me, would it be feasible to create a new system for a starting point for all ?
Basic set up should have:
* Would use the same 1 way jump hole idea thus no one could re-enter it. Keeping the area open & safe for beginners to learn the ropes, or veterans to build up enough to get a start on their way to where they choose.
* Have jump holes leading to every home system of every house. Allowing safe passage to work on reps & obtain ID's.
* Have multiple bases or 1 central base & dockable Capitol ships with info cards explaining rules & rp basics and history for each house.
* Use the bases/ships to also be able to do small transporting type missions for new players to earn credits.
* Each base have the sale of each house systems basic fighter, or freighter, so when they leave the "nest" system, they have a ship that would survive hazards such as NPC's gas clouds, radiation clouds, etc..
* Be a perfect place for the "Angels" to work from. Could easily help new comers with out interruptions & in a controlled area.
* Have each faction have 1 representative stationed there as a recruiter ( for those that may seek to join a faction.) Admin approved of course.
* Be a complete no fire zone ( unless needed for missions.. haven't thought that out yet)
* Place each houses biggest cap ship/s & top of the line fighter/s next to the appropriate jump hole. New members would get a chance to see some of the awesome ships that may have never seen before (Kudos to Mods) & Recruiters can use them as selling points for their factions & houses
* Set a limit on level allowed to remain before being kicked out of the 'nest' system ( I was thinking 30 to 35?)
These are just some of the benefits I see by creating such a system.
Question is, would it be a feasible thing to pull off, & would it help the Discovery Server in teaching new comers rules & RP ..
As I said.. just a wild idea I had..
comments?

Actually...It's been stated that Pennsylvania in 4.85 will be the new start area....

New starting system will take effect in 4.85. Rules of this new starting system have not yet been posted.

In modern times, it's safe to assume that any 'idea' you come up with has been thought of by someone else already.

Heh, id love to see a rhienland stationary battleship go against a liberty stationary drednaught...
They should be far away from eachother, so that the kusari battleship cant continually fire at the bretonia one and vise versa.;)
Hehe
Crusader, Valkrye, Defender, and the kusari HF?
Thats a really great idea.
I like it...

Great idea!!
I must say, that I like it a lot. Maybe, lowest level of leaver (from that sector) should be also set. Maybe 10 ?

I like the idea, but like mentioned, it's already gonna be used. Coincidentally, the NY --> Magellan jump gate that's closed right now will be turned into the jump gate to Pennsylvania... or so I heard. Good idea, but like Tenacity said, if you have a good idea it's probably already taken. Same thing for my post:P
